Chapter 0685 Taizu, Chengzu, resurrected!(2/2)
Seeing Zheng Hong's respectful buttocks touching the seat, Zhang Haogu chuckled twice and put down his pen: "I have seen the development of Zhangde Mansion, and you have done a good job."
Zheng Hong said quickly: "It is all thanks to the support of the imperial court and the love of the governor that the people's livelihood in Zhangde Mansion is prosperous and the people can live and work in peace and contentment. They dare not take credit for their humble positions."
Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "It is true that the imperial court supports the development of Henan, but you presided over the development of Zhangde Prefecture, and this is your contribution."
"To put it bluntly, I want to put an extra burden on you and change your place."
Zheng Hong was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Please give the order to Yuan Fu."
Zhang Haogu couldn't help laughing when he heard this: "Why don't you ask me where I want to transfer you?"
Zheng Hong said: "When the imperial court needs you, just go to your humble position, no matter where you go."
Nodding, Zhang Haogu said: "Nowadays, there are hundreds of thousands of herders in the two areas of Mongolia, Baliangadu and Chahar. Each grassland has hundreds of thousands of herders."
"I want you to serve as the prefect of Chahar and be responsible for the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of herdsmen in Chahar. If you are unwilling, I can change your place."
Zheng Hong did not hesitate: "I am willing to go."
In fact, Zheng Hong really didn't have much choice. Zhang Haogu bluntly said that he would put more burdens on him. How could he refute it? Obviously, the Chahar prefect was specially set up for him.
Seeing Zheng Hong's agreement, Zhang Haogu didn't have much gossip: "You will stay in the capital these days. You can borrow all the information about Chahar. In a while, Nayan from various Mongolian ministries will come to the capital to pay tribute, and then they will come again."
We are here to discuss the development of Mongolia. When the time comes, you should first get acquainted with the various Mongolian ministries."
Zheng Hong said: "I understand."
After Zheng Hong left, Cui Chengxiu from the Commercial Yamen came: "Yuan Fu."
Zhang Haogu nodded: "How are the preparations for the business exchange meeting going?"
Cui Chengxiu said: "Don't worry Yuanfu, the preparations are complete. Here is the list. Please take a look at it."
Zhang Haogu took the list and read it, including large chambers of commerce in Datong, Jiangnan, Zhili and other places, Na Yan from various grassland ministries, and merchants from the Manchu and Qing Dynasties.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Haogu said: "Although this matter is just a business meeting, don't give any excuse to outsiders. The commercial yamen will definitely be upgraded to a separate department in the future, so it should be more secure."
Cui Chengxiu said: "I understand, I will add the chamber of commerce in the southeast, and the chamber of commerce in the southwestern region."
Zhang Haogu slightly nodded his head.
Business in the Ming Dynasty developed rapidly. Now the major chambers of commerce have shown initial strength. These chambers of commerce and the court must take advantage of them to make the economy of the Ming Dynasty develop more rapidly.
Because whether it was trade between provinces in the Ming Dynasty, overseas trade, or even the subsequent Silk Road, etc., although the imperial court took the lead, the specific business still depended on these chambers of commerce.
It is much better to set the tone now and get some things out of the way than to cause trouble later.
Time passed very quickly, but in less than a month, Nayan from various tribes in the grasslands, shopkeepers from chambers of commerce from all over the Ming Dynasty, and businessmen from Liaodong, Manchu and Qing Dynasties gathered in the capital.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants are the lowest, just like a lowly person.
Since Zhu Youxiao announced the abolition of humble status, the life of businessmen has obviously become better. In the past, some clothes and things were not allowed for businessmen to use, but now they can be used, and the children of businessmen can also become officials in the court. Businessmen are very interested in
Zhu Youxiao was naturally grateful.
Not only businessmen in the north support the New Deal, but many farsighted businessmen in the south also know that the New Deal is an inevitable trend. With Zhu Youxiao's current prestige and the strength of the New Party, the Donglin Party cannot prevent the implementation of the New Deal.
Therefore, this business meeting is extremely important. If you can attend, it means that you have been noticed by the above.
It is not clear whether this is a good thing or a bad thing. Shopkeepers from various chambers of commerce came to the capital with an anxious mood, and then checked into the inns prepared by the business yamen.
At the same time, Nayan from various Mongolian tribes came to Beijing early to pay homage to His Majesty the Ming Emperor.
"See His Majesty the Great Emperor."
Zhu Youxiao was also very happy looking at the Nayans from various Mongolian tribes: "Please get up quickly, Nayans. Today, I will not talk about state affairs with you Nayans. We will talk about everything, drink wine and eat meat. As for me, we will talk with you." Everyone, please make friends."
How dare these Nayan refuse to refuse? They all greeted them with smiles. Seeing the waiters bringing food and wine to them, Zhu Youxiao raised his glass and said, "Today, I feel like old friends at the first sight with all Nayan. Come and drink this cup together."
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, Zhu Youxiao seemed a little drunk: "Now that all of you have joined us in the Ming Dynasty, there will be no war inside and outside the Great Wall. Whether we are farmers or nomads, we are one family. This is a great good. I feel so relieved."
"I promise you, Na Yan, that as long as all the ministries are still my subjects of the Ming Dynasty, I will protect your prosperity and wealth, and I will never break my promise."
Isn’t that what everyone in the department is waiting for?
Seeing that the Ming Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger, in the grassland battle at the beginning of the year, 50,000 Ming troops swept across 100,000 Mongolian and Manchu coalition troops. The faces of all the troops looked frightened, and they all remembered the fear in the early Ming Dynasty.
Otherwise, with just one word from the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, all the minions would come to the capital like crazy?
This requires strength as the foundation.
Now that the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty is willing to protect their glory and wealth, their goal has been achieved. Every one of them came to kneel and worship: "Thank you, Your Majesty, the Emperor. We must be the most loyal ministers of the Ming Dynasty."
And Na Yan said: "Your Majesty the Great Emperor, all Mongolian tribes are looking forward to your coming to Mongolia, and the people on the grasslands all want to see you." When Zhu Youxiao heard this, he also said: "Okay! Then I will end this year. , then go to the grassland and meet everyone Na Yan on the grassland."
"At that time, I will be a guest. Please treat me well."
Each of these faces patted their chests and promised to entertain His Majesty the Great Emperor. They said that the cattle and sheep in the grassland are now fat and the herdsmen's life is better. The Emperor will definitely be fascinated by the grassland scenery when he goes to the grassland.
After the banquet was over, Zhu Youxiao gave these Nayans small gifts, such as bronze mirrors, clocks, and some gadgets made by the Ming Academy of Engineering. You know what they are, but you don't know how to make them. The artifacts made the Yan people extremely happy, and they all went back to rest happily.
After the Yan people left with their gratitude, Zhu Youxiao's eyes returned to clarity. He stood up slowly and said, "I want to wash up when I return to the palace."
Wang Tiqian and Eunuch Wei were waiting for Zhu Youxiao to return to the harem to rest. Zhang Yan was a little worried after hearing that Zhu Youxiao had a banquet today and was going to observe the grassland: "Is it too dangerous for Your Majesty to go to the grassland?"
Zhu Youxiao smiled and said: "The queen is too worried. Now all the grassland tribes are like dogs of the Ming Dynasty."
"When I go to the grassland, I tell them clearly who the master they should be loyal to is."
